The History Museum & Research Center is excited to announce a series of guided walking tours showcasing the Lower Northside Residential Historic District.
The Lower Northside Residential Historic District is the original townsite of Great Falls. It is located on the north side of the central business district and features 257 buildings that contribute to the history of our city. Queen Annes, Colonial Revivals, Tudor, and Arts and Crafts are just some of the architectural designs featured in this stately district. The neighborhood harkens back to the early days when Great Falls was bursting with promise and rapidly expanding at the turn of the century.
Join expert tour guides Carol Bradley and Mike McCleary on one of three weekend tours, each offering a unique perspective on the district’s rich history and stately homes. The tours will bring to life the stories and anecdotes behind these iconic residences, providing a fascinating glimpse into Great Falls’ past.
